Microsoft Stream

Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint)

All University staff and students have access to Stream via M365. Microsoft Stream is a video service that enables you to upload, view, and securely share videos within the University. 

What is it for:

  • View and share your video recordings and videos that have been shared with you in one place.
  • Choose who is able to see the video content and how widely you wish to share it.
  • Generate transcripts and add chapters to video files.
  • View your video content across multiple devices.

Stream must not be used for teaching and learning videos (we have Yuja for that).

Stream & Yuja Learning Capture

Yuja is the approved platform for sharing teaching and learning video content.

Where do I find Stream?

The Stream (on SharePoint) homepage shows files that have been uploaded to SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. You can find Stream on SharePoint through your office.com homepage, or by going to https://stream.microsoft.com

Stream is also available as an app for mobile iOS and android devices - (Google Play Store or Apple App Store )
